Marlene has been a financial service professional since 1992. Growing up in a home where real estate and investments were typical topics of conversation at the dinner table gave Marlene the opportunity to learn first-hand about the basic principles of investing and property management. In 1992, Marlene began working as a registered representative specializing in tax advantaged investments. She saw a need to assist her clients in purchasing/selling and obtaining financing for their homes. In 1997 she obtained her California Real Estate license.
